Continuing to provide his usual compliment of excellence offence for VAN so far in 2023-24, Quinn Hughes- alongside Filip Hronek on the blueline- has also been a steady source of excellent play at even strength. Coming into tonight vs STL at a +8, he sits atop this @Canucks list pic.twitter.com/2QJp7bpTRG
